Huis Andrew Murray accommodate 150 children between the ages of 0 – 18 years of age and is the only children’s home in the greater area of Wellington. Their vision is to integrate the children into loving family homes.

The Need

Andrew Murray children’s home is well established, however they were in desperate need of a bathroom renovation for all 11 homes on the property. In all the bathrooms, the floors in the toilet cubicles were rotten and lifting. The walls were all painted differently and not in good shape. There was also nowhere to keep the
children’s toothbrushes and face cloths. With the help and incredible generosity of Global Exploration and their students, we were able to do a complete renovation of each bathroom. It was an amazing two weeks!!

The Work

The tiler had already been put to work and the tiles were installed by the time the two groups arrived. The students worked hard and tirelessly, starting on
day one with all the prep work.

They sanded down the walls, scrapped off the chipping & old paint and scrubbed the tiles. They then moved on to the painting. This was the bulk of the work and took a great deal of sweat and The tiler had already been put to work and the tiles were installed by the time the two groups arrived. The students worked hard
and tirelessly, starting on day one with all the prep work. focus to achieve the goal in such a short time. The atmosphere was fantastic.
The finishing touches were then added and the bathrooms beautifully complete.

It was an A BIG THANK YOU to Global Exploration for this incredible impact on the lives of so many children.amazing makeover!
